DER SPIEGEL PREPARING TO MAKE A FEW CORRECTIONS IN SERZH SARGSYAN INTERVIEW: SPOKESPERSON

Tert.am

Certain inaccuracies have been found in well-known German weekly Der
Spiegel’s interview with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan due to
cutting down text and corrections in translation.

Sargsyan, while referring to the Azerbaijani version of the settlement
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, had particularly said the following:
"If Azerbaijan recognizes Nagorno-Karabakh’s independence, I think
that the issue can be solved in a few hours. Unfortunately, they
[Azerbaijan] still think they must return Karabakh. And returning
Karabakh to Azerbaijan would mean to completely depopulate
Nagorno-Karabakh of Armenians in a short period of time."

RA President’s Press Secretary Armen Arzumanyan told Tert.am that
Der Spiegel’s editorial staff has promised to correct this and a few
other inaccurate statements found in the published interview.
